Something Happened!

I'm afraid this is getting completely out of hand.

Wife and I finally accomplished our goal of having (functioning) couples Honda singles. They really are quite the pair going down the road together.

There’s a lot to like about both of those.

My wife wants a pair also, trail models. Fun rides I think.

 

[misterprofessionality]

It is! The trails are REALLY hard to find though!! It doesn't help that it's a 1 year only bike. There's not going to be a 2022 model, so I'm now sitting on what looks to be one of the last 2021 models that will ship.

A lovely pair of bikes, MP.

I think these are really, really cool - especially the Cub.

These permit the option for incredible use flexibility in urban and light off road excursions. Low maintenance, low cost of ownership, enhanced safety, enhanced convenience, maximal fun where the CB1100 really cannot go.

Nice! Love those... I have very fond memories of riding on my Uncle's Trail 110 when I was little, and Mrs. Gone adores the look of the Super Cub. We were thinking of both of those, but we can't get anywhere interesting around us without minimal freeway travel.

Honestly, what i've found most interesting about these so far is finding ways to get places without using major highways or freeways. There's always roads. little service roads, roundabout back roads, long detours. it's interesting. My trail can go places where her cub can't go though, so we have to make sure we stay on the street when we're together.

You know, when she said "get a pair" I don't think you read that right........

On a serious note; I'm assuming you have ridden both so which one do you prefer and why?

You clearly don't live in The Hood.

Nice one Mr P. I had one like the Cub back in the 1980s.

 

[Houtman_imp]

They are really COOL , my love for Honda started in 1966 when I bought a Cub when I turned 16.

Wow you looked so young in the 80's Cormanus

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Bold. Two (2) pillion guests at that age.

It was hard reaching the pegs.

I definitely prefer the Trail. Even if you were using it for street use only its superior in every way. More comfortable ergos, better suspension. Better rear brake. Way better storage options, and you can start it with the kicker for cool points!

That passport looks just like the c70 my wife bought before buying this new cub. She always wanted a cub of some kind but eventually decided to just go for the new one. We aren't greattat wrenching after all.

The problem I see with low-capacity motorcycles is that cars are going faster every year on the streets and they don't respect small 2-wheel vehicles.
But what's really scaring, are car drivers distracted by cell phones and bumping into the back of whoever is standing at the traffic light.

I think its just a question of what roads you travel. You stay off major high flow highways and interstates and you'd be surprised how slow people drive. Around here the kind of driving that used to infuriate me on my normal bikes actually works out to be a nice cruising speed for these small bores. 45 or 50 is a very easy relaxed cruising speed. We even pull away from cars at red lights a lot of times.

If you're out somewhere where there are on and off ramps though.....yea you're in danger. But that's not what these are for. They're for back roads and creative navigation, especially the trail 125 which would rather take a dirt shortcut.

Might be because the cagers are still lookin' at their mobile devices.

Y'all:

Watch yer rear end and be prepared for those coming up fast behind you in stopped traffic.

I’ve mentioned before, I think, that a couple of jurisdictions in Australia have introduced cameras designed to detect mobile phone use while driving. The fines came into effect two months ago in my home state and have already collected $18 million to help pay for roads and schools and hospitals and national parks and other stuff. It’s luck they’ll help reduce the incidence of texting while driving.

Secret road cameras net $18 million in mobile phone, seatbelt fines in two months

And here’s a scary image from one of the cameras.
